Page 27 - The Real Story of Yashmal and Yaqub Chapter 1
P. 27

The city became a cauldron of mixed emotions. Rumors about Yaqub's work spread rapidly,
               sparking heated debates in marketplaces and homes. Some citizens were awed by the potential
               of his discoveries, while others were deeply unsettled by the ethical implications. The first signs
               of impact from Yaqub's experiment were subtle yet profound. A change in the air, a shift in the
               demeanor of those who were part of his trials. The implications of what Yaqub had set in motion
               were vast and unknowable. But for Yaqub, this was just the beginning. His grand experiment
               was more than a pursuit of knowledge or power; it was a statement, a challenge to the natural
               order of the world.

               Yaqub's journey was not without its challenges. In college, he faced mockery for his distinct
               appearance, earning the nickname 'the Big Head Scientist. Yaqub endured the biting sting of
               ridicule. Dubbed 'the Big Head Scientist' by his peers, each jibe only hardened his resolve,
               fueling a burning desire to ascend beyond the limitations they sought to impose upon him. His
               intellectual pursuits, a solitary haven, became the crucible for his emerging vision. Despite this,
               he graduated with a vision that extended beyond academia. In the city near Mecca, Yaqub began
               preaching a new doctrine he called 'Tricknology,' embodied in his 'Book of Tricknology of 120°.'
               He proclaimed that following this doctrine would enable dominance over the world for 6000
               years.

               Yaqub's influence grew rapidly. Those who had once mocked him now sought to learn from him.
               His doctrine attracted a large following, alarming the local king, who feared Yaqub's growing
               power. This led to the arrest of Yaqub and his followers, filling the prisons. Despite the
               confinement, Yaqub's teachings continued to spread. The king's guards, under direct orders,
               apprehended Yaqub's followers in a swift crackdown, filling the city’s dungeons. The prisons,
               overflowing with believers in Tricknology, became centers of whispered revolution.
               The King, aware of Yaqub's growing influence, viewed his teachings with suspicion. The king's
               advisors alerted him to the potential unrest Yaqub's 'Tricknology' could cause, fearing it might
               challenge the established order.

               Facing overcrowded prisons, the king personally visited Yaqub to negotiate. The jail, a
               foreboding structure of cold stone and iron bars, echoed with the murmurs and shuffles of its
               countless inmates. The narrow corridors, dimly lit by flickering torches, led to a dark and dirty
               cell where Yaqub awaited the king. The oppressive atmosphere of the jail was palpable, a stark
               contrast to the world outside its walls.


               As Yaqub prepared to face The King in the dimly lit confines of the prison cell, his mind was a
               whirlwind of strategy and foresight. He understood the gravity of this confrontation, knowing
               that the words he chose and the demeanor he projected could alter the course of his destiny and
               that of his followers. In these moments, Yaqub was acutely aware of the delicate balance
               between his ambition and the harsh reality of his situation. He pondered the possible outcomes,
               calculating the risks and benefits of each potential decision. This was not just a test of his
               intellect but also of his ability to navigate the treacherous waters of political intrigue. As he
               steadied his nerves, Yaqub reminded himself that this negotiation was a pivotal point in his
               grand plan, an opportunity to turn adversity into advantage.
